Why did we abandon Him?

Seeing Krishna entering Dwarka, the citizens immediately
rushed towards Him. In absence of Krishna they were extremely fearful and were
eagerly waiting for Him. There fear vanished when they saw Krishna. Out of love
they brought several gifts for the Lord and the Lord happily accepted it.

In this world everyone lives in anxiety and in constant
fear. The cause of fear is uncertainty. Material nature with which we are
associating is very powerful & uncertain, we cannot confront it alone. We
need shelter of Krishna to cross over.But unfortunately we have disassociated ourselves from Krishna.

An orphan lies uncared and unprotected, so he wails
pitiably. An orphan cannot be blamed for his precarious condition because he
did not abandon his father but his father abandoned him. But how unfortunate we
are that we have abandoned our father, Krishna, and have become orphan? Let us
ponder over it and ask ourselves that why did we abandon Krishna? Why not
re-spiritualize our life and return back to our original home, which we left
out of foolishness?
